Catching wild rainbow trout in winter
The birthplace of rainbow trout are rivers and freshwater reservoirs of the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to California. Due to its high adaptability to the living conditions, this type of trout is acclimatized in many countries of the world both in wild waters and in fish-water farms.
In Russia, wild rainbow trout (Mikija) has a natural habitat only in the rivers of Kamchatka. In this region, it often becomes a passing trophy of anglers, came to catch other species of salmon - coho salmon, Chinook salmon, Kamchatka salmon (steelhead salmon), chum salmon and sockeye salmon.
Rainbow trout received huge popularity in Russia at the expense of its industrial cultivation for sale in shops, and breeding for commercial fishing on paid ponds.
About catching rainbow trout in commercial reservoirs on spinning in open water, I have repeatedly written in my blog. In winter, from the ice, rainbow trout on platniki are caught on tots with the use of live bait as a nozzle, as well as vertical jigging on various types of artificial baits (lures, VIBs, silicone baits) or on a special "trout" paste with cheese smell , shrimp, garlic and other flavors.
At home of rainbow trout, in North America, this species is a popular target for recreational fishing. On open water, rainbow trout in rivers and lakes are caught with fly fishing, spinning for artificial baits or trolling from motor boats. In winter, from the ice, rainbow trout are caught on the same toes or by vertical jigging using natural baits (fry, worm, etc.) or artificial lures (lures, VIBs, etc.).
Today I watched the latest videos on my subscription channels on YouTube, and found great shots of ice fishing for large rainbow trout on one of the lakes in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. I liked not only the fishing itself, but also the very professional approach of the guys from Uncut Angling channel to the organization of filming. So, watch winter trout fishing for live and artificial bait ...
